Water myth busting:

Myth

Busted

Day Zero/the water crisis is/was a myth

The potential for a Day Zero
is and never was a myth. We conservatively projected it based on the
actual rate of fall in dam levels. As irrigation and urban usage has
reduced, so too has the rate of fall reduced and our Day Zero projection
moved out. This was communicated
transparently and honestly. The data on which these projections were
made is independently available from the national Department of Water
and Sanitation and is published in local newspapers.

The
City would never jeopardise this city and its residents, businesses and
economy unnecessarily by faking a Day Zero projection just as a scare
tactic.

The water crisis is real.
Just have a look at our dams to get the correct picture.

The
crisis puts the City’s water income into a deficit. We would not
deliberately fail to sell water if we had more to sell, as that would
provide more income than increasing tariffs.

Level 6 restrictions and tariffs are no longer
needed because Day Zero has moved out.

We have to keep the
restrictions in place. It is the low consumption that prevents us
reaching Day Zero this year.

City is acting illegally with the installation of
Water Management Devices for high water users

The
Water By-law and a Council-approved directive empowers the City to
install water management devices at the properties of high water users.
It is a legal action which has also helped us to avert Day Zero. In
terms of metering, these devices are SABS approved. They are installed
across the city as every suburb has high users. High users receive a
warning and a chance to correct behaviour, or to approach the City if
there are many occupants on a property. Any action to prevent the legal
installation of water management devices is illegal. The City will not
tolerate actions that intimidate our officials, or contractors, or
interfere with the execution of their legal duties.

Please visit www.capetown.gov/thinkwater for all
water-related information, including Level 6B restrictions and FAQs about Day
Zero as well as tips to lower usage even further.

If you love Brackenfell as much as we do, you will want to get involved in helping us to make Brackenfell a better place to stay, work and play.

Attention Business Owners

Are your CCTV cameras up to standard?

During a recent meeting with SAPS it was emphasised again how important it is to have high quality CCTV cameras on your premises. It is of no use having video material where you are not able to identify criminals or number plates. Please make sure your CCTV cameras are in good working order and of the highest quality you can afford.
